Opening celebration, 6-8pm
Lacuna, a solo exhibition of the new work by
Jennifer Nehrbass. Lacuna, meaning the space
between, will include portraits, landscapes, and
sculptures. Nehrbass' practice of layering explores the
multifaceted aspects of identity, place, and the concept
of the in-between. This in-between brings us together or
separates us; past/present, thoughts/dreams,
reality/imagination. All the work in the exhibition has
a slight nod to Dadaism, specifically Dada collage, when
disparate images come together to create a new image.

Opening Reception, 5-8 pm
Amy Metier, Taking Shape, A survey exhibition.
Taking Shape is a special survey of Amy Metier's
paintings and mixed media, which includes her most
recent body of work presented alongside older pieces
produced over the past fifteen years. This cumulative
selection of work illustrates how her daily practice has
taken shape over time. By assembling multiple series,
some never seen before, together with new work, one can
see some of the origins and the evolution of her
signature through lines. As an abstract mark maker,
working interchangeably between painting, printmaking,
mixed media, and collage, Metier has developed an
intuitive shorthand from practicing the art of letting
go or surrendering to her subconscious.

Exclusive collector preview of End of an Era, a
solo exhibition by Brad Davis. With extraordinary
technical precision and quiet intensity, Davis
transforms familiar urban environments into poetic
meditations on time and change. These new paintings
explore themes of obsolescence, memory, and the fleeting
beauty of the everyday. They are grounded in traditional
realism and resonate on a deeply emotional level.
The exhibition opens to the public on
May 24. Collectors are invited to explore the full

A.J. Collins, Mountains on the Inside. Visually stunning
decorative and functional ceramics of A.J. Collins. The collection
showcased in this exhibition highlights his signature forms, crisp
lines and vivid colors used to evoke conceptual landscapes of the
places he has lived or traveled to. Collins creates artfully
designed yet functional ceramics with the intention of adding
meaning and pleasure to the daily life of homes and interiors. He
makes his own clay and employs traditional wheel, slab, coil, and
slip-casting methods to form the pieces. Specialized ceramic
pigments are used to create an original palette of matte colors that
come alive within the surface of high-fired porcelain. As his work
continues to evolve in dialogue with his materials and the larger
world, he develops fresh bodies of work that are released as
editions.

The McKenney-Hall Indian Gallery.
Thomas McKenney was appointed Superintendent of Indian
Affairs in 1916 by President James Madison. He
championed Native American causes for the next several
decades at a time when tribal culture was often on a
collision course with land-hungry whites and the U.S.
Government. McKenney worked tirelessly on his Indian
Gallery, a collection of artifacts and portraits of the
visiting Indians by the famous painter Charles Bird
King. However, in 1830, McKenney was dismissed by
President Jackson -- they had quarreled about the
removal of the Cherokee from their homeland. McKinley
had also battled with a Congressional committee
investigating his expenditure of $3,100 for the Indian
portraits. Therefore, it was on his own that he launched
a project to publish a series of large portfolios with
hand-colored lithographs made after King's original
paintings.

Wendy Kowynia, Like Water and Alyson Khan, Tell Me
Things About Myself I Don't Know. Alyson Khan, "My work
is about the suspension of reason or rationality as one
might experience in ceremony, dance, or theatrics, an
agreement to open one's self to transcendence, the
realization of fantasy, the acceptance of the tragic,
absurd or paradoxical. Often aided by costume, mask, or
symbols, these states of mind allow us to edge closer to
a shared soulspeak, and in doing so we are changed and
healed." Wendy Kowynia works with a diverse group of
materials sourced primarily in Asia: unique yarns
produced in small quantities, sometimes by hand; made
from paper, pine, linen, silk, and steel. She weaves
these yarns into grids which are then colored with
graphite, charcoal, inks and paint. Her current works
focus on threads acting like lines, in grid and print
form.
Through May 18
Continuing:
DGraham, exhibiting
Dgrahamlovesyou, "Art, both visual and musical, is
one of our best methods for communicating beyond the
grave and throughout eternity." Inspired by the birth of
his daughter, DGraham creates paintings for a future in
which he may not be physically there, but can still send
messages to her through his art. He emits emotion with
glowing gradients of color and reverberating shapes.
Employing visual contrasts that keep the mind and eye
moving across the canvas, he transfers a loving energy
throughout dimensions. With casual Loop Performance By @thegrahamsmusic
